Request for trading halt: Tower Limited (ASX Code: TWR, NZX Code: TWR)
We request a trading halt to be applied to our securities (being Tower Limited’s ordinary shares (ISIN: NZTWRE0011S2 and NZTWRE0022S9)) under ASX Listing Rule 17.1 and NZX Listing Rule 9.9.1(a) and set out below details of the request as per the rules of each of ASX and NZX.
We would like the trading halt to commence from the commencement of trading on 7 March 2022.
Reasons for trading halt : Tower Limited is undergoing a capital return by way of Court approved scheme of arrangement, under which approximately NZ$30.4m will be returned to shareholders with 1 ordinary share for every 10 ordinary shares held on the record date being cancelled. As previously communicated to NZX and ASX, in order to facilitate the share cancellation, a trading halt is necessary during the Ex-Date and Record Date for the scheme. We understand that NZX will apply the trading halt as an operational matter to facilitate the corporate action.
How long we want the trading halt to last : from the commencement of trading on 7 March 2022 to the open of trading on 9 March 2022.
The event we expect to happen that will end the trading halt : the open of trading on 9 March 2022.
